So to update on the things we've been up to.
Monday.
For family night we read a talk, wrote postcards to family, and decorated sugar cookies while watching the Olympics. Here's a guessing game for the night, I'll tell you what the cookies are decorated as and you have to figure out what cookie it is! (some MUCH harder than others!) Diver, American Flag, Olympic Rings, British Flag, Speedo, GO USA, volleyball, swimmer, horse. We had a lot of fun doing this! More fun than I thought! We need to have family night more often!
We went to the library after dinner because we both had homework and couldn't wait for the charger. The public library here is an interesting place. I was sitting by a homely main rocking out to some Mary J. Blige and Whitney Houston. Every once in a while I'd get a little taste of his soulful voice. It was awesome. After dumb homework time we went to the mall and walked around. I want to buy everything at J. Crew right now, what's new! Newel got some nice pants and I got a cute shirt!
Wednesday.
Katie and I just shopped the day away! This was not planned! The fastest way to get to the post office is through the mall. When the new season of clothes is out this is a bad idea! We also went to the goodwill. They have T.M. Lewin (dress shirts from London) Newel LOVES for only $10. People were getting crazy up in there though! Pushing to get to the aisles, waiting in line to buy an $8 item for a half hour, women behind you getting crazy and yelling about waiting in line, another women not settling for a $6 shirt, "no four!" "Okay so do you want it since it's $6" "no it's four!". After the boys got home from work we took the train to Greenwich, this really nice town about 15 min. away. We had dinner at a diner and walked around all the closed boutiques. Everything's real expensive there but it's a cute little town. I think we're going to go back when things are actually open!
Thursday.
We fed the missionaries tonight. Newel loves the missionaries, he loves his mission. It was good! One's from Reno, one's from Bountiful. Shoot out to Patti, Whoa Whoa. They left a nice message with us and were on their way. Then our friends came over and we watched the Olympics!
Ready for the weekend! Can't believe Camie gets home Monday! I wish we were in Ghana with her! Jef and Emily are there, Mrs. and Mr. Bachelorette. Camie keep your eye out. Mom by saying that I know that I'm married to Newel and I know I'm not the Bachelorette, no more weird dreams!
